Loading...
Summary
Summit County council approved an abatement of $1,464.94 for a 2024 property tax bill after staff determined the property owner was not properly notified because the recorder’s office retained a prior mailing address; council acted by motion to refund the difference.
Summit County Council approved a discretionary abatement on June 11 for Parcel YOUNG‑2 after staff determined the property owner did not receive proper notice and could not reasonably apply for a primary‑residence exemption for tax year 2024.
What staff found
• Ownership update: Warranty deed recorded in late 2023 showed the new owner’s address as a residential address in Heber/Camas, but the recorder’s office retained an earlier PO box address for mailings. County staff concluded the owner did not receive the notice required to seek the exemption or correct the classification in time.
• Abatement requested: Staff recommended the council abate the difference for 2024 so the parcel receives the primary‑residence exemption going forward. The abatement amount was $1,464.94.
Vote
The council voted to approve the abatement by motion (mover Chris; second Megan) and instructed county staff to refund $1,464.94 for tax year 2024.
Ending
County staff will process the refund and update records to reflect the primary‑residence status for future tax years.
